It's like when STAR TREK does the trick of invoking "Galileo, Einstein, and Curcovissox." You're not actually missing anything if you don't know who "Curcovissox" is. You just go along with it . . ..

And then there's my favorite example, "The Cage." The very first Trek story ever written, impossible for anyone to refer to any prior works set in the universe, yet it's still heavily built around references to past events like the recent battle on Rigel VII and the death of Pike's yeoman. Every story references things beyond itself, but that doesn't make the story incomprehensible by itself.

Alternate recipes (originating outside St Louis), they can be baked instead of fried.

Christopher, toasted ravioli is AWESOME. Don't knock it until you've tried it. And yes, it's most often served with a marinara dipping sauce.

But this, of course, begs the question: If toasted ravioli has survived, has the other St. Louis specialty, Sicilian-style pizza (a.k.a. St. Louis-style pizza, a.k.a. Imo's) survived?

Sicilian-style pizza has a much thicker crust than St. Louis-style pizza and isn't traditionally cut into squares, but it does have a slight Sicilian influence, though. By 2046, it probably has a Castithan influence now...

St. Louis-style pizza is a bit of a hybrid - the cracker-style crust (baked without yeast) and the use of "provel" cheese, lots of oregano being the main characteristics.

It's absolutely fantastic. Just talking about it makes me wish Imo's was available in Atlanta ...

As I speak, I am directly situated between two Imo's--both within a ten-minute drive from my house.

It was years ago that Babylon 5 tied psychic powers to Vorlon genetic manipulation and hinted they were connected somehow to "hyperspace." It was also years ago that Stargate SG-1 tied them to "major rewiring of the brain" and other dimensions etc.

Those were scientifically ludicrous explanations but the simple truth is that we, the audience (or most of us anyhow) want to be able to suspend disbelief. The ficitional science may be risible but to a hopeful eye, it floats like a mirage of cool water and shady palms in a desert of dry fact.

Defiance at this late stage gives us aliens wtih the "Sight." It appears to be a gift from the gods, compensating the Irathients's lack of culture with supernatural abilities. Apparently being free from the stultifying civilization allows one to partake of the numinous. And that, it seems, is all there is to that.

They couldn't even throw us a bone.

I've had absolutely no exposure (or desire to be exposed to) any of the alternatives, and I've also had absolutely no problem keeping up with the show. Not sure where that faulty idea is coming from at all.

The problem is not with the show, it is in the post show discussion on the BBSs when you are watching live and others have so much more information then you do that you are left scratching your head. It is like going into a Trek discussion and other posters are going into all kinds of specifications and details over a ship which flashed by our screen for all of one second
